It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Daydreams and Ludger's Windsong.During its recent flush of blooms it wowed me even more by having the inner corolla skirt turn orange, while the outer remained lemon yellow. The blooms were a real show stopper for sure. I'm super excited about the potential of this seedling, I have several seed pods growing from ...

Monday, February 13, 2012 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 5924 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating Intoducing another showy white Angel Trumpet seedling Here's another new white Angel Trumpet seedling that recently impressed me with its blooms. This one is from a cross I made between Brugmansia Ludger's Windsong x Naughty Nick. Even though the parent's bloom yellow and orange respectively, the blooms on this seedling are snow white and quite showy. I feel this seedling is worthy of at least watching for a few more bloom cycles before deciding its fate. What I decided to do is group the white seedlings I'm watching together and wait ...

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 / Author: Sommer Gardens / Number of views: 9932 / Comments: / Article rating: No rating A golden Angel Trumpet illuminated the Christmas Eve sky On Christmas Eve I was greeted with this bright golden orange Angel Trumpet seedling. It is seedling #15 from a cross I made between Brugmansia Cassies Curls and (Ludger's Windsong x Creamsicle).All three blooms that opened at the same time all had the workings of a second corolla skirt stuffed up inside the bloom. This means the next set of blooms could actually turn-out to be doubles! Then again, they could easily just look the same as the first set of blooms.The medium size blooms are ...

It is from a cross I made between Brugmansia 'Rubirosa' x 'Ludger's Windsong'.As you can see it has it's father's style including Ludger's Windsong's crazy corolla teeth.At first I thought the blooms were going to stay snow white, but after a couple of days of aging they picked up a slight apricot color. Seeing how this was the first flush for this seedling, the final color is likely to change as the seedling ...

Here is seedling #5, one that is getting closer to earning keeper status. As you can see Ludger's Windsong had a strong influence on this seedling with its similar coloration and wild corolla teeth. I'm really liking the looks of this one and anxious to see how it performs during our sauna like summer.
